Kelowna has broadened its Francophone Community Immigration Pilot by introducing eight new occupations and launching a dedicated business and finance sector.
French-speaking professionals can now pursue permanent residence through 25 priority roles that offer hourly wages of $21- $28 across six economic sectors.
The program features seven intake periods beginning June 2026, with applications accepted from the 15th to the 30th of each month. Applicants need NCLC Level 5 French proficiency and job offers from designated employers.
However, eight occupations from 2025—including chefs and food servers—have been removed, which will require some candidates to adjust their plans accordingly.

The city of Moose Jaw has formally announced the specific list of priority occupations that will be targeted under the Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP) Provincial Nominee Program (PR) pathway, signaling a targeted approach to addressing local labor market demands through immigration.
This strategic prioritization is designed to attract skilled newcomers whose professional expertise directly aligns with the identified needs within the Moose Jaw economy. By focusing recruitment efforts on these key sectors, the municipality aims to ensure that new permanent residents can integrate quickly into meaningful employment, thereby contributing immediately to local economic growth and sustainability.
The initiative reflects a broader understanding among municipal leaders that controlled, needs-based immigration is a vital tool for workforce stabilization and expansion in smaller Canadian centers. The specific jobs listed are those deemed essential for maintaining or enhancing key services and industries within the region.
Stakeholders anticipate that this clear articulation of priority roles will streamline the application process for prospective immigrants who hold the requisite skills, offering them a more direct route to permanent residency via the provincial nomination process managed through Immig Toronto or related coordination points.

A recent Postmedia-Leger poll reveals that most Albertans back Premier Danielle Smith's plan to limit temporary immigrants' access to provincial services.
The survey found 63% support for restricting healthcare, education, and social programs to citizens, permanent residents, and provincially approved immigrants.
This comes as Alberta faces a $9.4-billion deficit and strained public systems due to record immigration. Smith plans to present 9 referendum questions later this year, with healthcare emerging as voters' top concern at 24%.
The poll surveyed 1,001 Albertans between March 2 and 4, 2026. #alberta_immigration, #healthcare_access_restrictions, #canada_immigration,

Canada's International Experience Canada program has introduced two new opportunities for young professionals.
The Inov Contacto initiative now welcomes participants from Portugal, while Taiwan's Global Pathfinder Initiative opens doors for Taiwanese applicants.
Both programs fall under the Young Professionals stream of the International Mobility Program, which promotes cultural exchange and work experience between Canada and partner countries.
These bilateral arrangements strengthen Canada's commitment to fostering international talent and creating pathways for skilled workers.
The additions were announced by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada on March 9, 2026, expanding opportunities for youth from these regions.
